Youth season in IN was this weekend. My oldest has helped this summer on some new property we bought clearing trails, planting footplots, moving stands. He's paycheck came last night. Saw and passed on a smaller buck and a few mins later had two more deer in view. This buck was nice enough for him. He did get to experience a bit of ground shrinkage, but overall he's happy with the buck, his biggest to date.

Our view for the evening. Pretty evident I didn't get a full coverage the last time I sprayed.

Since it was a touch warm and the local processor isn't taking deer yet as he's still getting caught up on custom beef/pork processing, he got an education on quartering a deer on the ground, in the dark!

Watching the youngest play a baseball game early in the day and the oldest shoot a buck later in the day. All in all a good day.

Good for him!

Nice buck, congratulations to the young man. I would be happy with that buck on any day.

Well done !

Well, hellz yes!!! Congrats to the lad!

First field I sprayed wound up looking like a psychedelic flag, with all the missed overlap areas. Nice job on the kids deer.

Fruits of his labor. Congrats.

What a great story! Well done all the way around! Congratulations to the fine young man!

That is cool. He will never forget it.

Campfire high fives!!!!

Nice 👍

Congrats on a nice buck......

Bow or gun?

Good on ya, dad! Big congrats to your son!

Rifle. In IN the youth season is the last weekend in September, before archery season opens on 10/1. I like it for getting the boys out and trying to fill a tag before things get "serious".

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

You had a great day all around. Congratulations. Be Well, RZ

Congratulations to your son! Sounds like both of you had a great day.

ConGrads to you & your Son!

Congratulations young man! Also, it sounds like you had one heck of a day wearing the "Dad" hat.

Excellent!!

Your bringing that boy up right, good for you, congrats to your son!

Congrats to that young man.

He did a very good job, and so did you dad.

I'd rather see a pic of a youngster scoring for the first time, than I would my being successful for a season...

I've taken enough deer in life... its time for the youngsters to take over the helm..

Congrats to the young man and the proud dad...

Way to go!!! Good deal all the way around. Congrats.

Good on him, congrats

very nice... I'd be happy with that... and happier for a youngster...

a big one makes a bigger lasting impression on them, to motivate them to not get bored with hunting and go back to video games..

Thanks for all the kind words. I had, what I think is the buck that was with this buck, at 12 yards on Saturday evening. He's a skosh bigger but he got a pass. I had somewhere to be and I'm hoping my youngest gets a crack at him.
